Listed by BizListings.ca
Description Established decorative building materials and direct-import business operating for approximately 18 years at the same Markham location. This is a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to take over an established operation with substantial ready-to-sell inventory, overseas supplier relationships, importing sources, product knowledge and owner transition support already in place. Substantial Inventory Included The sale includes approximately: • 10,000 pieces of imported plaster mouldings and trims • 50 natural marble fireplaces • 140 sets of porcelain floor medallions • 5,000–6,000+ sq. ft. of decorative 3D tiles • A substantial collection of marble and stone statues, fountains, columns and other architectural and decorative products Competitive Advantages To the owner’s knowledge, the business is the only local supplier directly importing its plaster mouldings and cornices, while comparable products in the local market are primarily manufactured locally. The business also directly imports natural marble fireplaces, offering highly competitive pricing in the GTA together with high-quality hand-carved craftsmanship. Turnkey Transfer & Owner Support Established overseas supplier relationships and importing sources will be transferred to the purchaser. The owner is willing to provide comprehensive transition support, including supplier introductions, product sourcing, importing procedures, product knowledge, pricing and practical guidance based on approximately 18 years of experience in the GTA market. Growth Opportunities Significant opportunities exist for a motivated new owner to grow the business through e-commerce and online catalog sales, social media and digital advertising, stronger relationships with builders, contractors and interior designers, B2B and wholesale distribution, and expansion into other Canadian markets. The established direct-import network also provides opportunities to expand the product range while maintaining competitive pricing. In addition, the owner can introduce the purchaser to other new and complementary product lines that may provide further opportunities for growth and diversification. Existing Showroom / Warehouse The existing Markham showroom/warehouse premises may also be available to the purchaser under a separate lease. The premises are approximately 3,000 sq. ft., with an existing approx. 1,200 sq. ft. mezzanine area on site that is not included in the 3,000 sq. ft. area, providing substantial additional space for storage and operations. This provides the purchaser with the opportunity to continue operating from the same location where the business has been established for approximately 18 years. Business brokers and buyer representatives are welcome. Commission is available to a cooperating broker upon successful completion of the sale. Reason for Sale: Owner Retiring.
